Chapter 39: Scrapyard



The cooking skills of the chefs at this state-owned restaurant in Tieling County are truly amazing.

The last time she ate fresh meat dumplings, Yi Qingqing didn’t feel it so deeply, because people in Nanping County rarely eat dry-fried dumplings, and Master Zhu who taught her was not very good at it, so there was no comparison.

But this shredded pork noodle is very obvious.

The noodles are hand-rolled and cooked for just the right amount of time, making them moderately soft and chewy, and with the shredded meat topping, they are just right.

When she ordered the food, she specifically asked for the name of the master chef, who was Wen Jiayao, the teacher of her new cooking skills teaching model. His level of 87% at level 5 was simply different.

Based on the level difference and cooking standard between Master Zhu and Master Wen, Yi Qingqing felt that for this cooking skill, the level 1 is probably just being able to cook dishes well, the taste is very average, and there are no complicated dishes, which is enough for daily life.

Level 2 means that one is skilled in cooking and can make most home-cooked dishes, as well as a few specialties. In later generations, this is probably the level of a chef who cooks big pot dishes in a cafeteria.

When it comes to level 5, it's a return to simplicity, restoring the original flavor of the ingredients, and any store you open will be able to attract gourmets.

This level is already the pinnacle of cooking skills in Yi Qingqing's mind, but she doesn't know what level she will reach next.

Fortunately, she was immediately taught step by step by such a being.

From now on, Yi Qingqing can take good care of her stomach without asking anyone else for help.

That is why Yi Qingqing is in a very good mood at the moment, and she is smiling while eating noodles.

The air pressure on Yun Guyuan's side was getting lower and lower, but he felt somewhat helpless.

Among the six of them, five have bicycles, and Qian Lailai, as the only one without a car, feels a little out of place.

She didn't want to let people give her a ride for free every time, nor did she want to alienate them because of the inconvenience of traveling. After thinking it over, she gritted her teeth and took out 100 yuan. After leaving the state-owned store, she handed it to Yun Guyuan, "Comrade Yun, can you help me build a bicycle today?"

Yun Guyuan nodded, "It's still early today, we can still get you one if we go to the scrap yard now."

"Why don't we go to the scrap yard together?" Yi Qingqing said. She had never been to the south of the city, so she could go and see if there were any other check-in places.

Li Mengxue also said, "I'll go too."

It is said that in this era, even antiques can be found in scrap yards, so she wants to go and take a look.

"Then let's all go together," said Zheng Xiaolong.

So the six of them rode their bikes to the south of the city. Yi Qingqing rode with a large bag of luggage tied to the back seat, while Qian Lailai was carried by Li Mengxue.

[Found the sign-in location of Tieling County Waste Station, do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】

There actually was a sign-in area at the scrap yard, and Yi Qingqing now had six sign-in points left. She hesitated for a moment, but finally signed in because she had never signed in at a similar place and she could give it a try.

After all, she doesn't fully understand the rules of the sign-in system yet, and many things still need to be tested.

[Sign in at the Tieling County Scrap Station and receive a Huanghuali wood Qiangong Babu bed. ]

Yi Qingqing really didn't expect that she would sign out a step-out bed. What does this have to do with a scrap yard? This isn't a furniture store.

Look at the bed in the backpack. Although it has a simple shape and old craftsmanship, it has no signs of having been used and looks brand new.

Although she can't take it out now and can only put it in her backpack, it is really beautiful. When the situation gets better in the future, she will definitely take it out and use it.

Unable to figure out what the connection was between this step-out bed and the scrap yard, Yi Qingqing gave up thinking about it.

After entering the yard, the old man at the scrap yard waved his fan and said, "Why are you here again, young man? I'm going to raise the price of bicycle parts here."

"This time, I will teach you this job, and you won't come to buy from me in the future. How about you give me another set of parts?" Yun Guyuan said. Anyway, after he made this money, he would not do such business again. It is not easy to find customers with tight lips, so he should not be too greedy. Besides, this scrap yard can only barely make two sets of parts at most.

"Okay, I'll give you another set, but I'm an old man and can't learn all of this. Chengzi, you go," the old man called out to a young man, "This is my eldest grandson, you just teach him."

Yun Guyuan said, "Come with me. I will only teach you once. If you don't understand anything, ask me right away. I won't recognize you after that."

Chengzi had heard about this kind of person from his grandfather a long time ago. Seeing how arrogant he was, he curled his lips. It was just a bicycle. If he was given a complete bicycle to study, he could figure it out by himself.

Li Mengxue and the others went to the scrap yard to look for things, and Yi Qingqing also went there for a quick look.

It is an exaggeration to say that antiques can be found everywhere in scrap yards in this era. Anyway, she only saw some tattered things and did not find any valuable antiques.

On second thought, as long as the object is still intact, it would not be thrown into the scrap yard in this era of material scarcity.

Unless it was lost in order to distance itself from the matter, or it was hidden here on purpose.

Not to mention the eyesight of the old man guarding the scrap yard, this is a place where people often come to pick up things for a bargain, and anything that should have been discovered would have already been discovered.

Things that shouldn't be discovered are hidden so deeply that it would be difficult for her, a background actress, to find such things.

She did know that in the original book, the heroine once found a ceramic jar with the wrong weight at a scrap yard, so she bought it out of curiosity and found several small yellow croakers sealed at the bottom with mud.

But firstly, she couldn't find the pottery jar based on the description in the book. Secondly, the pottery jar was not obtained from a legitimate source. It was hidden there by someone else, and later it caused trouble for the heroine.

The heroine has a supermarket space that she can enter at will, and she has avoided crises several times. Later, she also got to know the real hero because of this. If Yi Qingqing took it, it would be a question whether she could avoid the frame-up of those desperate criminals.

So much so that she didn't even dare to touch any of the jars, let alone look for the pottery jar.

I was afraid that if something was lost, people would suspect me and cause accidental injury.

She didn't even think about picking up a treasure. It was more practical to sign for arrival than to pick up a treasure at a scrap yard.

She rummaged through the waste paper pile and picked up a stack of relatively neat old newspapers. She paid 10 cents for it and planned to go back and paste the paper on the walls of the house.

The bad thing about this adobe house is that dust easily falls on the walls. Pasting a layer of newspaper will help.

After buying the newspaper, Yi Qingqing went to watch Yun Guyuan assembling a bicycle.

He seems to have a particularly strong hands-on ability and can assemble bicycles, build stoves, pick up tiles, and do carpentry work.

It is said that people look best when they are doing something seriously, and Yi Qingqing feels that this is absolutely true. His focused look is so charming that the sweat oozing from the tip of his nose can make people stare at him for a long time.

Yun Guyuan's ears turned red.
